Shoppers race to B&M for their £8 cabin bag that come in 3 shades – it’s perfect for the major airlines’ strict rules
WE all want to make sure we get the best bargains when it comes to jetting off for our holidays.
However, with major airlines tightening their luggage allowances, packing for a long weekend has become trickier, especially when trying to keep ticket costs down.
Fortunately, bargain stores like B&M are stepping in to help solve this issue.
B&M has recently stocked some stylish cabin bags that adhere to the strict rules of major airlines.
For EasyJet flights, passengers are allowed one small cabin bag for free, with dimensions of up to 45 x 36 x 20 cm (including handles and wheels).
This bag must fit under the seat in front of you, making it a practical choice for travellers.
For Ryanair, the maximum dimensions for a free cabin bag are 40 x 20 x 25 cm, which can be a handbag or a laptop bag.
Shoppers are now racing to B&M to snap up their new cabin bags, which come in three different colours.
The Bordlite Women’s Under the Seat Handheld Bag is described as “suitable for most airlines” and is available in blush, natural, and black.
Priced at just £8, the bag measures L40 x W20 x H25 cm, perfectly fitting Ryanair’s requirements.
However, users should be cautious not to overpack, as the bag can expand to L45 x W20 x H35 cm when overloaded.
The TikTok account ‘discountsforteachers’ recently shared a video showcasing the bags, captioned: “Cabin bags that you can get away with at the airport.”
The post has gained over 182,000 views, with many flocking to the comments section to share their thoughts.
One commenter tagged a friend and wrote: “Bargain! I’ve already got mine or I would’ve definitely gone for it.”
Meanwhile, shoppers are also heading to The Range to purchase their latest cabin bags.
If you’re planning a trip and want to avoid splurging on hold luggage, The Range is currently offering a lightweight hard-shell suitcase for just £28.99.
This suitcase features 360-degree spinner wheels for smooth manoeuvrability across all terrains, making it ideal for busy airports.
It also includes a built-in combination lock for added security and is described as “built to last – quality guaranteed.”
Crafted from high-quality ABS polycarbonate, the suitcase provides excellent durability and protection.
The Range assures customers that the suitcase is “cabin approved” for “most major airlines.”
Whether you’re looking for affordability or durability, these options are perfect for a stress-free journey.
